$100-500 USD

Paid on delivery
I have written a manuscript that needs professional editing. I am a writer, however four eyes are better than two! I required someone with an extensive writing and editing background - preferably someone who has worked on manuscripts in the past and has a few creative writing samples to share. I will require: - Reformatting (focusing on how dialogue should be written and formatted) - Sharp focus on sentence structure and grammatical errors - Rephrasing - Attention to detail The manuscript is 150 pages. I can be flexible on the budget depending on experience level. I would like to create a relationship with the editor I choose for future projects.

I have a fast turnaround rate and can provide a finished project to you within a few days. I am attaching a sample of my writing from a thesis paper that I wrote - so you can grasp an understanding of my writing and editing skills. Best of luck, I hope we can work together.

I'm a former university writing instructor and currently a professional proofreader and editor for students, attorneys and others. There is very little I enjoy more than proofing and editing for maximum readability. While I don't know much about your project but its length at this point, I can assure you that -- as long as it is written in English -- I can help you with it. Together, we will find exactly what you want to say in the clearest voice possible.

For my own books, I've written about 8+ million words (in 20-25 books) worth of fantasy/SF, as well as ghost-written a number of non-fiction books. I am told that my dialogue is top-notch; my characters speak like real people not like they all came from Yale. My resume and samples are attached via PM.
